A groundbreaking initiative combining sports and media has successfully concluded, offering young people in Tottenham a unique opportunity to develop transferable skills during the February half-term. The programme, hosted at the Unity Xtra / Thru Life Hub in partnership with Haringey Council, marks a significant milestone in youth development.
UK Youth is a leading national youth charity committed to ensuring all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives.
Participants engaged in a variety of media-related activities, including writing music lyrics, engineering studios, operating a radio station, radio presenting techniques and creating content for live on air broadcast.
These hands-on experiences fostered confidence, communication skills, and technical expertise, preparing participants for potential careers in media and related fields.
A highlight of the programme was an exclusive visit to Global Headquarters, home to popular UK radio stations such as Capital Xtra, Heart FM, LBC, and Dance Xtra.
Participants gained insight into professional radio broadcasting operations and met a number of celebrities including Jonathan Ross, Angie Greaves and Presenters Kemi Rogers, and Omar Howard.
This innovative approach to youth development successfully bridges the gap between sports and media, empowering young people with practical skills and inspiration. The programme's success underscores the importance of creative opportunities in community-driven projects.
